war, one position is drew foust's position, right? which is that elite slave-holding southern women basically contributed to the defeat of the confederacy because they lost a commitment to slavery in the context of the war and being the ones responsible for enacting the discipline on the plantations. and i find this very hard to believe. i love drew's work, almost everything she writes, but this i find hard to believe. i mean, the women whose defection from the confederate cause has political consequences i think are the yeoman and poor white women. but then again, we don't really know what their position was to begin with. i mean, who knows what they thought? if you read the political coverage before the war, each side, unionist and secessionist, claims that all the women are with them. you know, it's as if women are a block. and sometimes people still think that. what did the women do? what do we all do? we don't all vote one way or act one way or think one way. you know, it has to do with family and region and class and religion an
